The Nanofabrication Lab (NFL) at ICFO is a transversal facility devoted to the fabrication of nanostructured photonic devices.

The 570 m² facility includes a 275 m² dedicated ISO6/ISO7 cleanroom area and other controlled environment spaces, hosting a complete set of state-of-the-art nanofabrication tools and techniques for a wide range of optical applications, from biosensing to optical communications, and spanning a broad range of materials, such as polymers, semiconductors, metals or crystals. The laboratory also includes tools for advanced materials and device characterization.
